Reviews'This exquisite anthology covers sixty years of conceptual and empirical scholarship on comparative economic systems, zeroing in on central plan economies. Paul Dragos Aligica and Peter J. Boettke have assembled both indispensable classic papers and innovative recent contributions. The volume encompasses several types of central plan economies, including the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, Mao's China, and Yugoslavia. Five distinct sections organize thirty-six articles into a logical sequence, enabling the volume to achieve simultaneously two objectives: provide a multifaceted, in-depth analysis of the subject and present a history of economic ideas and debates. An exhaustive introduction by the editors summarizes this history in a lively fashion.'

SynopsisThe search for alternatives to capitalism and the problem of comparative assessment of the performance of socialist and capitalist systems have inspired one of the richest and most remarkable episodes in the history of economic thought. By the mid 20th century an entire field had emerged, conceptualizing, theorizing, monitoring, and analyzing the largest and most consequential social and economic natural experiment in human history: Real-life Socialism. This research review focuses on the fundamental literature associated with the comparative study of socialist and capitalist systems. It features both a well-rounded inquiry of the modern history of economic thought, as well as a vibrant and critical disentanglement of the role of the economic system from the role of environment and policy decisions, as determinants of economic performance. This review will be an interesting and invaluable research resource for academics and students alike., The search for alternatives to capitalism and the problem of comparative assessment of the performance of socialist and capitalist systems have inspired one of the richest and most remarkable episodes in the history of economic thought.
